Power Platform 2026 Release Wave 1: Power Apps

UG Expert Kylie Kiser walks through new and planned features for Power Apps, particularly related to modern apps, based on the 2026 Release Wave 1 notes for Power Platform.

Key Takeaways

  • Copilot features being released: Some Copilot features have been out for a little while already for users to try. One went in preview in 2024 but is generally available in April, for instance. This is a good reminder to provide feedback when features are in preview so they become generally available sooner.
  • A modern, refreshed look in model-driven apps: There isn’t much information on this yet. While we know it’s going to be a new look, we also don’t have any screenshots of what it will look like, so keep an eye out for that.
  • Search in grid filters and lookups: These enhancements will be generally available in April. This includes contains-based matching, fuzzy matching, highlighting, faster performance, containment app-wide behavior, and reliable fallback to other legacy search.
  • Custom-branded apps: Users will be able to download custom-branded apps directly from the Dataverse without additional steps, meaning these apps can be delivered faster. This will also be generally available in April. They will also be able to customize settings and enable push notifications in custom-branded apps. This will be generally available in May.
  • Row summaries in model-driven apps: These enhancements are related to security, ensuring users don’t have security errors when viewing a summary while keeping data secure. This will be generally available in June.
